Looking for a badass computer case, got any ideas where I should look? Any cases come to mind?

that case is old now and doesn't have the best airflow, still like it but not for no $500, specially since they are not originals, and specailly sine they cost $300

for that price you could get a nice mountain mod case, or a several custom lian li's. That price is coming up to the murder mod tj-07 to, 10x the cosmos case... Plastic crap case in my opinon, had two, both ended up in the dumpster. lol

thats pretty much like the haf 922, but keep in mind justin is talking about some top of the line full towers and that the sniper is a mid tower, which means that it will not have the airflow of the bigger cases and thus the temps are gonna be a little higher then full tower case.
lian li are great cases, I do love a properly done mountainmod like couple justin had posted

I have a couple Lian Li's to.. but they are all business in appearance. lol I just hate plastic cases, for budget go steel cases, if not go aluminum. I have always wanted an all copper case, maybe when I retire I will have one..

Naturally, a Cooler Master. Right now it's a contest between my new HAF 932 and my old Stacker 830, and the 830 is winning.
I wish I had known about the option to ship in your own case. I probably would have gotten the Nvidia 830 version. I wonder how much DS charges for you sending in your own case.
I like the HAF a lot, but there's a couple of things I'm not crazy about, and most involve plastics. Like the power button - too much play in it and it feels cheap. That blue LED is annoying. Gimme big headed screws for the expansion slots, to hell with tool-less. I do like the hard drive bays, though.
CM really needs to focus a bit more on functionality and quality here . . . . . and get away from the "tool less" concept. I can deal with screws. Screws are just fine! I'm betting those plastic retainers are gonna snap off one of these days . . .
Chassis and Plastic: Just say No!

only some of the things are plastic and so far nobody has complained about anything on their haf breaking, for the price and airflow you can't beat it.

I love the haf for price and performance, went with the hailstorm myself since I'M lced on both cpu/gpu and wanted hot swap bays, if the gpus were not LCed, I would have gone with haf.

My comments concerning the HAF932 were minor nitpicks; I am still very pleased with the chassis. Solidly built, great airflow, easy to work on with plenty of room in the interior. |
